Overview

A lavishly illustrated look at the Native American architectural renaissance during the past 30 years. The Native nations are planning the buildings they need: including office & commercial buildings, schools, clinics, religious & community structures, urban cultural centers, houses, & museums. They want to make sure that the buildings are culturally appropriate or focus on collective decisions that embody community values brought from the past to the present. Examines the historical & legal background of this movement of cultural regeneration through the medium of architecture.
